Well, if I am no saint, then I am a sinner, and Jesus came into the world to save sinners. So I will go to Christ and look to him.

Christ did not come into this world to make bad people good, but to make dead people alive.
Leonard Ravenhill
A Christian is not a man who never goes wrong, but a man who is enabled to repent.

Child of God, you cost Christ too much for Him to forget you.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
I am not what I ought to be, I am not what I wish to be, I am not what I hope to be in the world beyond; but still I am not what I once was, and by the grace of God I am what I am.
John Newton
If God would have painted a yellow stripe on the backs of the elect I would go around lifting shirts. But since He didn’t I must preach “whosoever will” and when “whatsoever” believes I know that he is one of the elect.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
In Christianity, the moment we believe, God imputes Christ’s perfect performance to us as if it were our own, and adopts us into His family. In other words, God can say to us just as He once said to Christ, “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”
Tim Keller
It is not thy hold on Christ that saves thee; it is Christ. It is not thy joy in Christ that saves thee; it is Christ. It is not even thy faith in Christ, though that be the instrument; it is Christ’s blood and merit.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Look for yourself and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.
C.S. Lewis
The law is divine and holy. Let the law have its glory, but yet no law, be it never so divine and holy, ought to teach me that I am justified, and shall live through it. I grant it may teach me that I ought to love God and my neighbor; also to live in love, soberness, patience, etc., but it ought not to show me how I should be delivered from sin, the devil, death, and hell. Here I must take counsel of the gospel. I must hearken to the gospel, which teaches me, not what I ought to do but what Jesus Christ the Son of God hath done for me: that He suffered and died to deliver me from sin and death. The gospel wills me to receive this, and to believe it. And this is the truth of the gospel. Most necessary it is, therefore, that we should know this article well, teach it unto others, and beat it into their heads continually.
Martin Luther
There is more mercy in Christ than sin in us.
Richard Sibbes
Upon a life I did not live, upon a death I did not die; another’s life, another’s death, I stake my whole eternity.
Horatius Bonar
We hold that man is never so near grace as when he begins to feel he can do nothing at all.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God’s grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God’s grace.
Unknown
God loves humanity. God loves the world. Not an ideal human being, but the human being as he is; not an ideal world, but the real world.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
I believe that even our mistakes and errors are not in vain, and that it is no more difficult for God to cope with them than with our supposed good deeds.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
I am weaker and more sinful than I ever before believed, but through Jesus Christ I'm more loved and accepted than I ever dared hope.
Alistair Begg
Christ is not about trying harder; it means transferring our trust away from ourselves and resting in him.
Tim Keller
What is an evangelist? It is one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread.
Adrian Rogers
God does not love us because Christ died for us; Christ died for us because God loved us.

If we are looking for a definition of love, we should not look in a dictionary, but at Calvary.
